Masculine plural nouns (-i)

Plural Masculine Nouns

In Croatian, regular masculine nouns usually end in a consonant. To make them plural, simply add -i.

For example, student becomes studenti (students), and prijatelj becomes prijatelji (friends).

Where are the students?
Gdje su studenti?
They are friends.
Oni su prijatelji.
The neighbors are at home.
Susjedi su doma.

Everyday Objects

The same rule applies to masculine nouns for objects and places, like restoran (restaurant) or problem (problem).

Where are the restaurants?
Gdje su restorani?
Those are problems.
To su problemi.
The televisions are here.
Televizori su ovdje.

Matching Adjectives

Adjectives and pointing words must match the nouns they describe. For masculine plurals, they typically take an -i ending as well.

Notice how words like novi (new), veliki (big), and ovi (these) end in -i.

The new restaurants are beautiful.
Novi restorani su lijepi.
These hotels are big.
Ovi hoteli su veliki.
The big airplanes are there.
Veliki avioni su tamo.
